John is survived by his two sons, David and James; grandson, Odin; daughter-in-law, Sung; and ex-wife, MaryAnn.
John was born June 1943, in Scranton, PA, to Arthur and Irene Ginader. He graduated from West Scranton High School and later served in the U.S. Army as a cryptographer in the 1960s. After his discharge, he was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency as a communications officer for 30+ years. During which time, he traveled and worked in various countries. In 1998, he retired from the Agency and started a historic militaria antiquities business.
John was an avid historian and collector of militaria. He loved to hunt for military relics and share stories with his fellow collectors.
John was buried in August 2010 at Arlington National Cemetery by his family
1943 - 2010
I will miss him very much... He started me on my collecting addiction and it is a true passion that I will continue, thinking of him everyday.
Thank you, Dave Ginader
